I designed and put together the website for Brighton Reticulation today.
I don’t know how useful it will be, but for a small hosting fee and a little time invested in design it might well be worth it. My hunch is that every little bit helps.
I have heard it said that if any trade worker [...]
I don’t think I actually know anyone who would sign up to the nonsense called prosperity gospel. It is an extreme abberation of biblical teaching suggesting that Jesus will make us happy, prosperous and all will be well.

We certainly are a very mobile lot these days, hence Alvin Tofflers’ reference to [...]
We had a great weekend with the two different Forge intensives, but today I am feeling the effects. Phil McCredden was over to help us launch ‘Re-imagine’ and after a full day of seminar on Friday we drove to Busselton and back on Saturday followed by the Sunday of Forge and church that evening in [...]
Occasionally people come along who fit in the category of ’statesmen’, leaders of note who by virtue of character and moral authority stand head and shoulders above the crowd.
